Stranger in the Woods

Elethia hasn't left the woods in ages. Sure, she's been into the nearest village before, but she's never actually spent the night there. It's ok with her though, life is pretty good, peaceful, going along nicely, until some bandits show up in the woods chasing after a man. Elethia finds out someone wants the crown prince of Darvenshal kidnapped, then assassinated. How to stop a kidnapper? Kidnap his prey before he can obviously.
I've never written a book before so PLEASE comment your opinion and any suggestions for names, characters, the story in general etc. Thanks!
